Debunking the myths of big data at DataIQNOW! 2013
Unlocking the true value of your precious data is high on every marketers agenda. With phrases like “Big Data”, “modern marketing” and the steady stream of new ways to get your message out there, this may seem like a momentous task.
In his presentation at DataIQNOW! last week, Parry debunked the myths of “Big Data”, in favour of focusing on “Little Data”. This is the data that you can proactively use straight away.
In an email marketing context, there are three simple examples:
Open rates: If you increase your open rate, you’re giving yourself a chance. The main thing here is to have an effective subject line strategy – don’t view each email as a one-off, view them as part of a long-term branding campaign and ensure your subject lines build your brand on a sustainable basis.
Click through rates: Action speaks louder than words – structure your emails so they drive action. Consider the psychological state of your customers and create your emails so they drive people to take action.
Conversion rates: These days there’s no excuse to not be able to attribute revenue to email. Start tracking your conversions now. This way, you can see what variables within your control make you more money.

Email Conversion Optimisation at Internet Retailing Expo
It was a freezing cold day at the NEC at the UK’s number one event for online and multi-channel retailers. Last week, I presented a workshop at Internet Retailing Expo 2013.
The Adestra presentation was about “Email Conversion Optimisation”. You can download the presentation slides here, but first here are my key takeaways.
1. Getting your emails opened…
How do you optimise your emails for opens in the mobile era? The same points still apply for mobiles as they do for webmail and desktop email clients. Focus on optimising from name, subject line and the pre-header text and you’re emails will be crying out to be opened.
2. Getting your emails clicked on…
Think mobile. Mobile retail email open rates jumped by 50% over the holiday period last year with more and more people reading their emails on their mobile devices. But what about those who clicked on an email on a mobile phone? Think big buttons, simply structured emails and responsive design.

3. Getting your subscribers to convert…
What types of email boost conversion?Abandoned basket emails easily deliver the highest ROI – so why are less than half of retailers doing them? Yet only 19% of retailers have an automated abandoned basket recovery system, one of the easiest tools to implement and quickest to prove return – shows a sneak preview of new research from the Econsultancy/Adestra Email Marketing Industry Census 2013.
You can also see how data notifications (birthday emails, purchase reminders) that you can automate also deliver good ROI.
